    Thank you for coming to the official Carson Kressley website! Feel free to explore the other tabs to view Carson’s upcoming events and to learn more about Carson’s clothing lines, television shows, movie appearances, and published books.

    His past: Carson was born and raised in Allentown, PA. When he’s not traveling, he resides in the bustling NYC. Carson’s fashion mentor, his mother, showed him that clothes don’t have to be fancy or expensive, but should always be appropriate.

    The Horse Obsession: Growing up on a farm, Carson developed a passion for riding horses. In 1985, he began to compete in equestrian competitions with a horse named Daddy’s Money. Today, he has five candy loving American Saddlebred horses. He is a former member of the U.S World Cup Equestrian Team and winner of the 2009 American Saddlebred World Championship.

    Working Corporate: After graduating Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Gettysburg College, Carson worked as a catalog’s stylist for retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale’s. He eventually landed a job at Polo Ralph Lauren on the design team of the men's sportswear division.

    Guilty Pleasures: When Carson isn’t working, he loves to shop. He rocks stylish clothing and adores helping others love the way they look. Beyond his healthy addiction to fashion, he is a huge movie lover, his favorites being classic Alfred Hitchcock films and Legally Blond.
